Ahead of the STRO Lottery Process, there are a number of remaining questions that need to be answered before implementation. SD STRA has worked to compile a list of questions for the City that would help ensure responsible hosting and compliance.
These questions include:
- How should operators with multiple dwelling units on one parcel apply for each of those units?
- Will that be a different process than that of operators with multiple dwelling units on multiple parcels?
- Can multiple individuals apply for the same permit on the same dwelling unit?
- Can one individual apply for multiple permits on multiple dwelling units?
- Will dwelling units in underlying commercial zones be treated any differently than dwelling units in underlying multifamily residential zones?
- Will dwelling units in underlying single-family residential zones be treated any differently?
- Can one apply for a permit in the name of an LLC, Corporation or Trust?
- Can a person under the age of 18 apply for a permit?
- Will permits be removed from hosts who do not engage in STR activity after obtaining their permit? If so, under what parameters will these be measured?
- After the lottery is complete and permits are issued, will there be a list of applicants who were not issued a license? If so, will these applicants be prioritized for future permits? Will a waiting list be created?
- What census data the city is using to determine the number of households, and how often it will be updated to adjust the number of available licenses?.
- When a license becomes available after the cap is met, how soon does that license pass to the next in line?
